Models Own - Purple Passion

Still haven't been able to work out the order to models own, but fortunately this store called Seppälä sells those gorgeous polishes. Though I won't buy anymore from there because I want to buy from their own site! It will become cheaper :)

But apparently, when they have that "get 5 polishes, save £7", you won't get that if you use the 30% off coupon! I'm pissed.

But onto the mani. Here is at first only the Purple Passion


It is a bit too bright in the picture, and with a top coat. Without a topcoat, it dried kinda matte, though it was beautiful too. I took some photos before applying the topcoat, but it was night and our lightning is very bad then to took polish pictures!!

But how was the application? Perfect! No more than 2 coats, maybe 1 with steady hand :) Soooo pretty! I'm totally pissed about the fact that I'm not capable for some reason to order anything from Models Own website. But! I will be patient, and try again and again, until it works!! This polish sealed the deal.

Have to say that I've mentioned couple of times about the nail art polishes black and white which I ordered from different place than the other colours. Well that didn't work out! BUT, I was absolutely happy when I found this from a supermarket


Jeij!! The brand is apparently Kiss and they work just fine! And look what came with the package

Evil Angel from Black nail polish and lip gloss showed similar to these nail art decal stencils.

Check it out.

You just stick the decal onto your nail, and apply the polish you want the pattern to show with. Very easy, although my stickers are a bit thin, so they might rip easily. Have to be careful!

Ofcourse I immediately had to try these, and just without any planning, it turned to be like this


(oh my god how hidious my cuticles are...)

First I only did my thumb to see te results, and I liked it. Later the same night, after a glass of redwine, I did the rest of the hand



I didn't have my polishremover with me, so when the decal was too stained to do more those, I changed to another one and did with that the pinky and the index. Cross tips with the new silver nail art polish, and ring and middle needed some lines with the new black nail art polish!
Love the design :)

I believe those polishes and decals will be in lots of use! I'm already thinking what to wear the next weekend!!

See you soon!

Some old and dark

Hey! Now that there is few posts between these, I can post another half-and-half mani :D


I think it was a sunny day when I made this.. I started with this gorgeous dark grey holo from Golden Rose. Color 119. Very beautiful and easy to apply!

And to spice it up, here is what I came up with


Depend black polish which includes pink and green shimmer! The polish number has disappeared from the bottle!! Apparently that happens all of them :/

And here you can see how gorgeous the holo-effect actually is


Loved the design, but when there was no sun occasionally, it was a bit too dark. But again, maybe later when the sun is more likely shining!

And now I need some help!!

I tried to order some nailpolishes from models own, and use my 30% off coupon. But when I have all of the polishes in font of me, and start to click on them and add to my cart, at some point it just throws me to their front page, and my cart is empty. And that happened many times, after I've chosen like 8 polishes. Totally frustrating!!

Have any of you had the same problem? How could I fix this? And is the models own page slow to you too? Because for me it is. I would appreciate any help here, because those colors are so gorgeous!

If you can help me, thank you so much!!

Moody nails

The fog here has been transformed to rain. Absolutely depressing!! I want to see sun! I want to feel the dry asphalt (that is totally my first sign of spring/summer)! Want to lose some clothes!! And the warm wind! Oh.. Not that biting wind that throws also water on your face. COME ON SUMMER!!!

So here is the base I wore couple of days, and it is kinda summery. Not too bright, but cute what so ever.

Models Own Lime Light

And to the "fun" part: This is seven or eight layers!!! 7 or 8!! And still you can see the nail line. Maybe not in the picture but IRL. Man! If I hadn't had all the time I had when I put this on, I would have freaked out. Luckily all the layers dried very quickly, so the building was fast, but still. Unbeleviable. Is this general to Models Own polishes, or is it just the sheer ones? Despite the layering, I liked the polish a lot. Maybe more from this brand...

But today, when the weather totally brought me down, I fixed my nails to reflect that feeling. Really I don't like the outcome, but it was so suitable to what I see from my window, that I think I'll leave it that way for now. Though tonight I will take it off! Tomorrows nails are already planned :)

But here's the moody nails.


Over the Lime Light I put Golden Rose 107, the one from my previous haul (not posted it yet...). Two layers, and now looking at it here, it sure is soooo depressing. I should take it off. Definately on a sunny day, when the Golden Rose holo can make its magic, this would be different kind of story, but not now. Ok, I'll think I'll stop now!!

p.s. I'm supposed to be reading to my university-getting-in-test... Been making lot of excuses not to :/
